Dr Lloyd explained that while some people may ‘think of ADHD as just three core characteristics – hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention’, doing so can ‘almost trivialise it’, adding that ADHD is ‘not really an attention deficit’, but is ‘an attention surplus’.

‘There are a lot of children and there are a lot of adults who as children went through school being told or defined by what they couldn’t do, being told that they weren’t very intelligent or they weren’t very bright or they were choosing not to learn because they couldn’t concentrate on demand, and a lot of those children and a lot of those adults who’ve grown up through that system have experienced a lot of anxiety and their self-esteem and their self-confidence in their ability and their employability will have taken a real knock,’ he said.
